‘THE DAILY EXAMINER eee

THE SENATE AND THE GERRYMANDER.

‘ma Guardian displays its wit (shel) we say to advantage ?) when it says that “the bald and spectacled veterans of the Senate, in the plentitade ef their Conser- vatism and the fullness of their power, have rejected the Liberal Governmment’s redietribution bill for tke second time.” Experience is always, and wisdom often, associated with bald heads and spectacles. It is true that the exuberance of youthful fancy and the folly of youthful indiscre- tion extend, in some cases, into the term of life im which baldness and spectacles hold eway. Suehacase may be found in The Guardian office. But it will be ad- mitted that ‘* bald and speetacled veter- ans™ usually possess the plentitude of knowledge and sagacity, while they are re- moved from the influences of passion» whether begotten of persona! ambition or

These ‘‘ bald and epectacled veterans — grave and reverend fathers” was the | term applied to Senators in the good old | daye ef Cato and of Rome—have, it is | true, fer the second time, given the six | monthe’ hoist to the Government’s Gerry- mander bill; and The Guardian wants to know why they“ intermeddle in such af- fairs?’ The answer is that, as to the House of Commons, The Senate of Canada under co-ordinate

the constitution, pewers of legislation ; and that its special duty is to stop legislation that is deemed | by it to be unjust, untimely and inexpedi- ent—all of which the gerrymander bill undoubtedly is—until such time as the people shall have had an opportunity to constitutionally exprees their opinion cou- cerning it. The British North Americs Act provides that the Senate of Canada shall exercise the same powers concerning legislation as areexercieed by the House of Lords in Great Britain ;—and the Houee of Lords bas repeatedly rejected bills reepecting the redistribution of seats in the House of Commons.

The Guardian, however, argues that tbe Senate ought not to have interfered with the paseage of the Redistribution Bill be-~ cause it iuvolves only the House of Commens. Senators, it points out, have life appointments, and are altogether re- moved from the strife of politieal conflict : they ought not to interest themselves ‘ about a gerrymander bill for the House of

Commons. If the members of the House of Commons only were _ interested, this argument might be a good one. But the whole country and every interest in the country are involved in the bill whieh the Senate has rejected ;—and therefore The Guardian’s argument goes for nothing. ‘Take, for instance, the pro- visions of the billas to Prince Edward Island. It actually gave Queen’s and Prince Counties two representatives each, and every elector in these counties two votes, while it gave Kings County but one re- presentative and each elector in Kings eounty but ome vote! A monstrous in- justiee affecting the people of the entire Province. Surely the Senate had a right to stop the passage of such a bill and to let the people of Canada first say, by their votes, whether or not they are wil- ling that such an injustice shall be perpe- trated | Possessing the power (as it does) it would have been untrue te itself, its bald heads andi speetacled eyes and all that these imply, it would have been un- true to the people and to theclear dictates of justice, if it had not reiected the Gerrymander Bill.

But the Guardian pleads that the Con- servalives perpetrated a gerrymander io 1892, and that the Liberals should have been permitted to perpetrate another in 1900. A sufficient answer to this argu- ment would be that one wrong dees not

THE FIELDING PREFERENCE.

As cheap and useless concession to the Mother Country, the Fielding Preference is all very well. To say that it is of any direct valueto the people of Canada as a whole or that it bas operated to increase the volume of our trade with great Bri- tain is to say that which is not true. While it is true that our imports from Great Britain have, in the past three years, increased to the extent of four millions o; dollars, it is also true that our imperts from the United States have increased to the extent of thirty-four millions of del. lars. Our imports from France, Germany, Spaiv, Portugal, Italy, Holland, Belgium and Seuth America have increased pro- portionately ,two or three times,as much as from Great Britain. Ii is a fact, that while our total imports have increased thirty-nine per cent, our imports from Great Britain haye increased but twelve per cent. Inthe light of the statistics the Fielding Preference afforded to goods imported from Great Britain is little bet- ter chan a pleasing deception.

that the redistribution of the five electoral districts in 1892, was about as fair as it could have been made-although it was denounced equally with the redistribution of Ontario, a3 a scandalous gerrymander ! Arguing from what we know ‘o what we don’t know,—we conclude that no weight ought to be attached to this last plea of the Guardian.

Then, there is the question of untimeli. ness which the Guardian, astutely, avoids. The British North America Act provides that the redistribution shall take place immediateiy after the taking of the decen~ Surely it would have been going contrary to the spirit, as well as to the letter, of the constitution to pass a

—Providence favored the passage of the Second Canadian Contingent from Halifax to Cape Town. ‘The Montreal Star’s correspondent reporis that “ Everybody on board, officers’: and men alike, looked hale and hearty. «Not a siga of the long, trying voyage, cramped up in such o wretched old tub as the Pomerar ian, could be seen on any of the boys, except~ ing the healthy-looking tan that came from the kiss ot the’tropical sun.”
